Leftover Nut Roast Falafels
/
This is an easy recipe to use up any leftover nut roast you may have. Adjust amounts according to how much you have leftover - its easy to do by eye/hand - feeling into how much hummus you need to add to make the falafels. Original recipe from coop.
Serves 2 (approx 6-8 falafels)
Ingredients (when in italics available from the van)
150g leftover nut roast
pinch chilli flakes (approx 10p)
1-2 tablespoons hummus (look to make your own with chickpeas or butter beans)
Total cost from Incredible Bulk approx £0.10
Method
Preheat oven to 200C and prepare a baking tray by oiling, using baking paper or reusable liner.
Place your leftover nut roast into a bowl and break into pieces, add your chilli flakes and hummus and mix together thoroughly - you’ll want your mix to stay together in small balls so add more hummus if needed. Once consistency seems right divide your mix into equal size balls and place onto your prepared baking tray and bake in the oven for 8-10 mins until golden, crisp and fully heated through. Once cooked remove from oven and they’re ready to serve!
Serve with salad or leftover Sunday roast veg, you can even make your own naan/pittas to enjoy with them!
Zero Waste Tips
Make your own hummus and pittas to avoid single use packaged options.
Depending on the quality of your baking tray use oil to stop falafels from sticking or parchment paper which can be reused or composted after use or a reusable baking liner.
